Quantum criticality in heavy-fermion metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize some of the basic issues, including the extent to which the quantum criticality in heavy-fermion metals goes beyond the standard theory of order-parameter fluctuations, the nature of the Kondo effect in the quantum-critical regime, the non-Fermi-liquid phenomena that accompany quantum criticalities and the interplay between quantum criticalness and unconventional superconductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The break-up of heavy electrons at a quantum critical point

TL;DR: It is inferred that all ballistic motion of electrons vanishes at a QCP, forming a new class of conductor in which individual electrons decay into collective current-carrying motions of the electron fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Models and materials for generalized Kitaev magnetism.

TL;DR: The mechanism proposed by Jackeli and Khaliullin to identify Kitaev materials based on spin-orbital dependent bond interactions is analyzed and a comprehensive overview of its implications in real materials is provided.

YbRh 2 Si 2 : Pronounced Non-Fermi-Liquid Effects above a Low-Lying Magnetic Phase Transition

TL;DR: In this article, the first observation of non-Fermi-liquid effects in a clean Yb compound at ambient pressure and zero magnetic field was reported, and the authors ascribe this NFL behavior to the presence of quasi-2D antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations related to a very weak magnetic phase transition at T(N) approximately 65 mK.
